Cry Out
Psalm 34:17
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.
One of those Mornings
Have you ever had one of those days where you woke up and it was like every sound, every person, just everything was already getting on your nerves? That was me this morning. I have a neighbor that had their car running right by my kitchen window, for what seemed like an hour, and all you could hear through the whole house was the “ thump, thump, thump” of their music. It literally drove me almost insane. I began getting aggravated with my children and they hadn’t done anything. I kept apologizing but the music just kept on, “thump, thump, thump”.
Jesus!
The longer it went on I could feel a panic attack trying to come on. It was getting harder to breathe and my temper was about to go through the roof. That is what panic attacks look like for me. I felt it, it was coming, and all of a sudden I yelled “Jesus, please make it stop!”. The noise didn’t stop, but all of a sudden I had an idea. Go get your ear plugs.
I seem to have a sensitivity to noises that give me a hard time, to say the least, so, I sleep with wax ear plugs in so I am able to rest soundly. I went and got the ear plugs, with what only felt like seconds before I couldn’t breath at all. Finally they were in and I could breathe. A few minutes later my neighbor left for work and the awful “thump, thump, thump” went with them.
What’s Your Issue?
I know, that sounds silly to someone who doesn’t have that issue. Some might even say if I were close enough to God that wouldn’t be an issue. You know what I do know? We all have some kind of issue we need to call out to God for quite often.
Maybe it’s not noises that lead to panic attacks, maybe it’s much bigger or even much smaller. The point is, crying out to God is what gets us through it. He may not always remove that thing, but just like the simple idea of getting my ear plugs, He will help us. I believe with all my heart that the Lord put that idea in my mind because it helped me and gave me peace.
What do you need to cry out for today? He’s waiting and listening.
Jeremiah 33:3, Psalm 77:1, Psalm 142
**God thank you for never leaving me. For helping me in the seemingly small things. You know how big they are to me. Lord help me to never forget that in those times I don’t know what to do all I have to do is cry out to You and You will send help in my time of need, whatever that looks like. In Jesus name I pray, Amen! ***
